Popular Pool Party Supplies:

Where to Hold the Party – Reserve the local community pool (indoor or out); rent the indoor pool at a local hotel; or your own pool;

Safety First - Party hosts are responsible for the safety of the children. The hosts must be sure that adults or trained lifeguards are supervising the pool at all times during the party. Keep a phone nearby just in case of emergency.

Diving Game – Toss quarters into the pool and let the kids dive in two at a time to see who can retrieve the most coins.

Navy Seals – Race across the pool while pushing a beach ball with their nose (like a seal).

Shark Attack – Have all the kids climb on two or three pool rafts and then try to pull other teams into the water. The team with someone still on their raft at the end is the winner.

Hula Hoop Contest – Play some lively music while the guests use the hula hoops. See who can hula the longest, who can hula using their arms, who can stand on one foot, etc.

Water Balloon Toss – Divide the guests into pairs who then toss a water balloon to each other. Take a step back after each throw. The last pair with their water balloon intact is the winner.

Wheel Barrow Race – Fill two wheel barrows with beach balls and have the kids race across the yard. If a ball falls out they must stop and get it.
